commands to a real Mochad server buffer up and do not execute immediately about x10_any

The source code for Mochad, in encode.c:837 cm15a_encode() appear to check for either \r or \n (it also checks for end-of-string), the behavior reported in clach04/home-assistant-x10#1 (comment) implies that is not working.

• Many of the code samples for Mochad (including the Python tk demo) only use \n
  • however the Perl code sample explicitly uses \r.
• hautomation_x10 sends \n\n - see https://github.com/jpardobl/hautomation_x10/blob/master/hautomation_x10/cmds.py#L19 and https://github.com/jpardobl/hautomation_x10/blob/master/hautomation_x10/driver.py#L22
• pytomation uses \r (well the byte literal \x0D which is the same thing) https://github.com/zonyl/pytomation/blob/master/pytomation/interfaces/mochad.py#L151
• netcat nc (at least the default one Ubuntu uses which is the BSD implementation) when used with echo only uses \n - proved with a listen mode of nc -l 1099 | od -c
• telnet uses the sequence \r\n (confirmed using nc listen mode) as expected and as that works for the original reported Mochad server this seems to be the way to go. Using this also works with the current version of https://bitbucket.org/clach04/mochad_firecracker

@akeshan can you try the current version from git please? Example test.

import x10_any

x10_any.default_logger.setLevel(x10_any.logging.DEBUG) # DEBUG

dev = x10_any.MochadDriver()
dev.x10_command('B', 4, x10_any.ON)
dev.x10_command('B', 4, x10_any.OFF)

Thanks.

Tried the latest version and it works great, very responsive.

@akeshan many thanks for your assistance with this, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/x10_any/0.0.6 now posted and should be pip installable and working.
